I look more rad than Lutheranism

A couple days ago I was putting on my shoes to walk out the door and sat on a cold, wet hairball.

Yesterday I went to pick up what I thought was a wad of black electrical tape from the floor (it made sense given the location; it could have fallen off of a power cord that had electrical tape on it)...and it was a hairball. I pick up hairballs all the time, but not with my bare hand!!! I did in fact recoil and screech in horror.

Our wings are not tired.

Now watch it people; I have stitches in my gut. Laughter is not a good plan.

Lukewarm. Dragged my hem in it, so also had to change.

OTOH, came in to IT doing emergency work on major storage, including mine. So basically we're down and they're busy as shit.

Everyone cross your fingers that the Corolla checks out fine at our mechanic today. If it does, we'll have a new-to-us car by tonight! I'm considering naming it after my old Big!Boss, because a large chunk of the funds for it are coming from my severance from that job.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Fingers, toes, arms, legs, eyes all crossed for you. Unfortunately that means work will be a challenge today, but it is worth it for you.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

You could call it Severance Snape.

Now I want a bumper sticker for my car (also a Corollla) saying "My other car is a Slytherin."

City Hall evacuated due to fire alarm. City spokesperson set it off trying to heat latkes in the oven. I'm finding this very funny.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Yay new car, Steph!

Health ~ma to everyone, especially Laura and amyth on their abdominal surgeries.

I had a dream last night that included having to log into the dryer with Ellen Pmopeo's log-in credentials and then being arrested and not believed by the IT police tht the dryer FORCED me to log in that way. And then Ellen Pompeo's father was there looking like someone from Walking Dead, trying to find her and wondering why I had chosen her credentials and if I could help him.

In unpleasant things cats left on the floor this morning bingo, one of mine flung some poo out of their (covered) litterbox and batted it toward the kitchen in a spray of loose litter. Meanwhile, their sparkly foil toys for just that purpose sit untouched over by the windows.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Cats, man.

Severance Snape is cracking me up.(I also drive a Corolla! My other car is a bicycle, I guess, but I don't have a bumper sticker to that effect. Not, as far as I know, a Slytherin bicycle, but how would i know?)
